The girls are terrific skiers now. We were so proud of how well they do. They laugh when they fall down, get up easily and just keep going. They have great attitudes. We usually do the half-mile loop a couple of times. One of the times we went, Jia did the half-mile loop three times to prepare herself for doing the mile-and-a-half loop. She's ready!
We also visited the Ice Castle at the Mall of America. We loved how it changed colors!
We spent New Year's Eve with our friends, Binh and John and their kids. We did our usual fun cheese fondue. Dippers this year included sweet potatoes, bread, pretzels, tomatoes, hot dogs, apples, grapes and broccoli. We then decided to attend a Candlelight and Ice Walk across the marsh at our nearby nature center. It was COLD, but toasted marshmallows and cocoa warmed us up. So did many giggles on the sleds!
